Patagonia Torrentshell 3l Jackets

The consensus best rain jacket under $200, period. Hardshell-level 3-layer H2No protection, pit zips, and Patagonia's legendary durability at half the price of premium competitors.

The best rain jacket under $100, full stop. It matches the Torrentshell's perfect score in REI's testing at nearly half the price, with pit zips and full adjustability that most budget jackets skip.

The jacket testers reach for when money is no object. Lighter, more breathable, and more supple than the Torrentshell — but at $500, it's a serious investment.

Patagonia's sustainability flagship — made from recycled fishing nets with watertight zippers and a softer, stretchier feel than the Torrentshell. A compelling middle ground between the Torrentshell and premium Gore-Tex shells.

Patagonia's most stylish rain jacket — designed for people who want hardshell protection without looking like they're heading to base camp. Picked by OutdoorGearLab as the women's top choice for style and comfort.
